Welp folks, Sami’s leaving to go camp in the desert.

After they forget how they started talking about apocalypses in the first place, they pivot to the actual usual stuff—celeb news. Re: the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt airplane altercation story. How did they get to this breaking point? And Brad Pitt might be dating who?! TBH, they realize Brad should be dating Ben Affleck (they give v similar vibes), but unfortunately Ben can’t right now—he and JLo are entering their 3 day wedding extravaganza. Then onto Kathy Hilton’s philanthropic endeavors for homeless people, which oddly segues well into Kanye’s latest Yeezy x Gap collection. Is Kanye fetishizing homeless people?
